Exclusive: Everton in midfielder transfer talks, former Premier League star also on their radar

Everton have held talks with the inner circle of Strasbourg’s talented 20-year-old midfielder Habib Diarra, sources with a close understanding of the situation have informed CaughtOffside.

The highly-rated Senegal international has shone during his time in Ligue 1 and is now open to a transfer to the Premier League this summer, though he will not push to leave as he respects the decisions of his current employers. That is why Everton must first agree a deal with Strasbourg, CaughtOffside understands.
